Tie Hot End of the Lnka-

Here is good story told Of Rodsy's caval-
ry. One day the troopers were about to go
into battle, dismounted, leaving every fourth
man to hold the horses. The men were drawn
up to count from right to left. Of course.
every fourth man felt jolly, and this is the
way the count went on:
"One, two, three, bullyI'
Zone, two, three, bully!"
Gen. Roldy heard each fourth man call out
abuly.n His face flushed. When all had
called off he said:
Numbers !, 2 and "bully" will go into the
fight as dismounted cavalry. No. will hold
the horses"
There were a good many sick "bullies" that
day.-Atlanta Constitution.

There lives in this country-to be more
particular, at Mount Vernon, Ala.-a
unique animal. This distinguished
creature is mule. it might be supposed
that its uniqueness lies in its kicking, but
this is not the case. 1t is unique because
it has been regularly. pcnsioncd by the
United States Government. This lucky
mules name is MeXique. He has had a
long and useful career. He has certainly
served his country in two wars, and it is
believed that he enlisted in the army
even as early as the war of 1912. When
application was made for pension for
Mexique, his record was transmitted to
the War Department, the fact being OBJ
tanned from the special books in which
the careers of army horses and mules are
recorded. MeXique is now awhile mule,
but he was a sorrel when, according to
the records, he entered the service during
the Mexican war. A part of the army
when on its homeward march in 1S49 left
him at Tampa, Florida.
When the civil war broke out he was
still at Tampa, and during the war he
served throughout the region between
that place and Key West. In 1882 the
post at Tampa was abandoned, and Mex
ique about Christmas time arrived with
Battery L. Third Artillery, at the bar
racks, Mount Vernon, Ala. He was not
in good condition, for shortly before
leaving Tampa, he got severe kicking
from mare for attacking her colt.

Hot Weather Diet.

"Farinsceous food has Of late become
very popular with Brooklynites, " said a
local restauranteur recently. "Whyl
Because in summer a man doesn't need
so much blood producing diet as he does
in winter. The proper diet for hot
weather is milk, bread, and once 8 day,
if man works hard, little meat won't
hurt him. Nothing is more heating to
the blood than roast beef, and he who
wishes to be cool in summer will avoid
it. Yes, l admit that many men can't
drink milk, but these men have weak
stomachs and in consequence don't enjoy
life. Let me tell you, young man, when
one has dyspepsia as | have had 1t, life Is
not worth fighting for. Am l cured'
Well, l should say so. You want to
know what effected the cure, Ell. Clam
juice, not clans, mind you, but the juice
as it comes from the clam when opened.
If it were possible / would have clam
juice bottled and sold as a cure for dys
pepsia. 1t never fails to do the work,

Soon afterward the officer in command
at Mount Vernon barracks was ordered
to sell all unserviceable draught animals
Mexiquc. In consideration of the dis
tinguished services of this mule the COM
mandant pctitioncd the Quartermaster-
General that McXique be allowed to re.
man in the service, with full rank and
nav. as the officers of the post were will
ing to raise a fund for that purpose.
The petition, going up through various
departments, reached General Sherman,
who, in referring the matter to the War
Department, wrote:
81 have seen that mule, and whether
the story be true or false, the soldiers be-
lieve it was left at Big Spring, where
Mount Vernon barracks now are, at the
time General Jackson encampcd there
about 1919 to 1920. Tradition says it
was once a sorrel, but now it is white
from age. The Quartermastcr's Depart
ment will be chargeable with ingratitude
if that mule is sold, or the care or main
tenance of it thrown on the charitable
officers of the post. / advise that il be

at Fort Morgan when l was there in
1872"
Upon this the Secretary of War issued
the following order:
LET this mule be we'll cared for as
long as he lives"
Mcxique is now feeble. According to
General Sherman he is nearly seventy
years old. He has never recovered from
the mares kick. He has the liberty of
the reservation and many distinguished
strangers have called on him. He is
very lucky mule.-NeU York. San.
